It’s happening...
Retirement Rethought
Retirement Rethought
What does retirement mean in 2012?
Retirement Rethought
• We know the day will come
• We avoid thinking about it
• We imagine we can outrun it
• We think we’ll be prepared
Retirement Rethought
The next chapter or the end of an era?
Are we ready?
Rarely!
Retirement Rethought
• An end
• A transition
• A beginning
Retirement Rethought
Getting to the next phase is:
• The higher the level, the more difficult the transition
• We define ourselves in and through our work
• Financial prep does not equal emotional prep
• We have not invested in ourselves as we would a business venture or project
Retirement Rethought
What I Know……
What I learned…..
> Plan
> Prepare
> Be Purposeful
> Find your Passion
> Start a Project
Retirement Rethought
• The Project* is writing the next chapter
• You are the author and the project manager
* A project is a planned undertaking, not something done by whimsy, but completed as the result of a thoughtful process.
Retirement Rethought
• You have the lead, but you aren’t in this alone
• Engage / enlist friends, family, colleagues
• Create a Council of Trusted Advisors
• Invest in professional support
Retirement Rethought
Projects must be resourced properly to be successful
• Financial
• Psychological
• Social
• Emotional
• Educational
Retirement Rethought
Components of your projectplan will include:
Think of this as a journey of DISCOVERY
Retirement Rethought
• Discover what is in the Box?
• What are you passionate about?
• Can you define it in a word?
• In two or three?
Retirement Rethought
Your goal on this Journey...
Then you begin your EXPLORATORY phase
Retirement Rethought
• On what paths can your passion take you?
• How will you find the right path?
• Consulting, volunteering, teaching, new paths,
entrepreneurial roads….
• Go outside your comfort zone
Retirement Rethought
And then you CONNECT
Retirement Rethought
• Put the pieces together
• Connect the dots of your life’s experiences
• Build on what you know
• Draw upon the relationships you have built
• They are farther reaching than you think
Retirement Rethought
And then you CONNECT
• Write as you go
• Learn to live with flexibility and uncertainty
• Have fun with it
• Enjoy the rewards of strong life experiences
Retirement Rethought
Living the next chapter
• There are no wrong choices
• Move forward with less precision and more risk
• Be less pensive and more active
• The reservoir of experiences built is deeper and
more sustaining than you think
Retirement Rethought
What else I have learned
• The community
• The structure
• The familiarity
• The daily challenge
• BUT... I wouldn’t turn back!
